MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian authorities are not planning to close
down the McDonald's chain of fast food restaurants in the
country, Itar-Tass news agency quoted Deputy Prime Minister
Arkady Dvorkovich as saying on Saturday.

Russia's food safety watchdog has launched sanitary inspections
of McDonald's restaurants across the country against the backdrop
of a standoff with the West over Ukraine. It has closed down
three restaurants in Moscow citing breaches of sanitary
regulations.
